Regent Seven Seas Cruises has launched the Epicurean Enrichment Studio, an innovative culinary theatre that will roll out on Seven Seas Mariner and Seven Seas Voyager in 2026.

The studio program will blend global gastronomy, cultural storytelling and hands-on learning to offer guests an elevated and enriching culinary journey.

Designed by Executive Chef and Director of Culinary Enrichment Kathryn Kelly, the studio will debut aboard Seven Seas Mariner during the 2026 World Cruise before expanding to Seven Seas Voyager in May 2026. The spaces will transform the Stars’ Lounge on Mariner and the Club.com area on Voyager into dedicated culinary hubs as part of multi-million-dollar ship refurbishments.

“Culinary exploration has always been central to meaningful travel,” Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer for Regent Seven Seas Cruises, said. “The Epicurean Enrichment Studio lets guests step inside the stories and traditions that define each region. Whether they’re blending spices in India or sampling artisanal olive oils from the Mediterranean, every moment is designed to bring the world’s flavors to life.”

The program is built around five elements that aim to collectively offer an expansive and immersive approach to culinary enrichment: the Epicurean Passport Series – destination-focused lectures; Chef’s Circle events like culinary trivia or mixology classes; Chef’s Table small-group lectures with cooking demonstrations; Chef-Led Epicurean Enrichment Tours and Chef-Hosted Dining – invitation-only dinners for no more than eight guests.

Chef Kathryn Kelly said the new studio is a natural evolution of Regent’s culinary vision. “Our guests want to experience the world through food,” she explained. “The Epicurean Enrichment Studio blends history, flavor, and authenticity to create voyages that engage all the senses.”
